What is the Z wave Alliance?

This is an alliance of over 700 worldwide companies, including some of the biggest. The member companies of the Z-Wave Alliance are driving the smart home revolution through technological innovation and award-winning products for virtually every residential, and light commercial application — all of them based on Z-Wave.

Can I add smart home tech to my existing house without having to tear down walls and add new wiring?

Absolutely! Unlike expensive home automation systems that require special wiring. Z-Wave uses secure wireless technology to communicate between devices by tapping into your existing wiring. This makes it easier, quicker and cheaper to assemble

What do the terms Smart Home, Home Control and Home Automation mean?

Home control and home automation are functions of smart homes. Home control means being able to operate your lights and locks and thermostats and so forth remotely, from a single device like your smartphone.

Home automation is the process of programming those devices so that they operate automatically, in ways that best suit your lifestyle.

Will smart home technology affect my internet speeds or interfere with other wireless devices?

Not at all. While most smart home systems rely on your home network for some functions (like remote access and communications between your smartphone and smart hub), the bulk of the home control action takes place on a separate wireless network that doesn’t interfere with Wi-Fi at all.

Z-Wave operates on a low radio frequency (921.42 in Australia and New Zealand) which means no interference from other wireless devices in your home, while its device encryption also ensures no interference from nearby Z-Wave systems.

Does smart home technology make your home vunerable?

Any technology that uses the internet to communicate can be susceptible to intrusion.

However, with Z-Wave, it’s very unlikely. With its 128-bit encryption (online banking-grade encryption) and advanced security framework, a Z-Wave smart home system is likely more secure than your Wi-Fi network.
